Puncture & Impact Testing

Puncture & Impact Testing

Puncture and impact testing can provide data on how well your product or material can withstand penetration forces. Due to the vast differences in material properties based on rate of energy delivery, there are multiple tests that can be performed to determine these differences.

DDL has the capability to provide impact speeds of up to 80 meters per minute using hydraulic actuation. We also have multiple shapes and sizes to provide a wide variety of testing capabilities.

Shown below are a few of the standards that are applicable to puncture/impact testing:
